I was falling asleep as I wrote this

pretend 
my understanding of sex
& physical attraction 
has not become 
ABSTRACTED

that I am
perhaps
a grown woman who KNOWS 
what she WANTS 

or contrariwise 
a virgin
who
doesn't YET know anything 

& really 
WHY bother to pretend

anything before 

isn't me
in some relevant 
WAY

& my DESIRE to 
kiss you

pre-dates me
meaningfully

I'm sure I can imagine 
the feel of your lips

I want to
KISS you
